I have both games on 360 (and gears on Xbox one through backwards compatibility) so I'm not interested. Only remasters I have bought were sleeping dogs (because it was that damn good) God of war 3 and the last of us, because I never had a ps3.

Picked up Heroes of the Storm. It's like super casual LoL. It's great.

Been playing Brawlhalla. Not usually my kind of thing but it's pretty fun, although I'm hoping the full game will add some more interesting features.
Steam = Starchild

I kept seeing things around of people cumming over it but figured it couldn't have been that great, then 3 of us on teamspeak finally picked it up and it's fucking amazing.

I'd quite like to get Rocket League, but is it really worth £15?

Only played 3 hours so far, but I'd say those are definitely worth 5 quid each, and I'll be plugging way more hours into it from now on.

Rocket League is totally worth your time and money. But I'd definitely say it's a better experience when played with friends.



Which I have not done yet ;-;

I saw it at E3 and the coverage was just a massive circlejerk.

It looks like a slightly better version of a fuck about football game I made on Halo 3 forge with rockets and hammers...5 quid for a copy maybe...but 15?

3 days till Insomnia. I'm pretty stoked to say the least. Just hope my mates car is big enough to put our combined gaming paraphernalia. Might leave my laptop behind. Seems alot of aggravation for essentially the ability to play Age of Empires II. I am not running short on games with Far Cry 1-Blood Dragon, the absolute time sink Minecraft, quest to get my Tiger on World of Tanks (probably a day on premiums work by itself), GTA5, Bully, Max Payne 3, Borderlands, two Metro games that were free this month, Fallout: New Vegas and if it arrives between now and Thursday, Sims 3 for the lolz.

Except it has cars, which can jump, and fly!

Seriously though, while yeah, the basic concept could be knocked together in most games that support mods and have vehicles for free, what makes it worth the price is how well they've refined the gameplay to be really fun and satisfying.


Meanwhile, I'm trying to decide whether to continue playing Fallout: New Vegas again (played it before, but only got about halfway through the story), or acquire one of the older MGS games to see what all the fuss about, since MGS5 is looking like it's getting crazy good reviews.
